Long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments have a high sensitivity to the CP violation phase of the neutrino mixing matrix through the ฮฝฮผ โ ฮฝe and ฮฝฬฮผ โ ฮฝฬe appearance channels. For instance, the measurements of the T2K experiment in Japan, using Super-Kamiokande as a far detector, favour a close to maximal CP violation and excluded the CP conserving values at a 90% CL. However, these...

Neutrino tagging is a new experimental approach for accelerator based neutrino experiments. The method consists in associating a neutrino interaction with the meson decay (i.e. $\pi^\pm\to\mu^\pm \nu_\mu$ or $K^\pm\to\mu^\pm \nu_\mu$) in which the neutrino was originally produced. The properties of the neutrino can then be estimated kinematically from the decay incoming and outgoing charged...
